2 weeks in the UK in October
Hi everyone ! What is a good UK 2 week trip itnerary/route for October 2026?
Whats the most affordable place other than London to fly into ?
I heard that these cities are the best? But what am I overlooking? What are the most overrated and underrated ?
- York
- London
- Edinburgh
- The Cotswolds
- Lyme Regis
I know these are some cool things that would be interesting to do in the UK:
- castles
- historic towns
- museums
- old architecture
- cozy/autumn atmosphere
- bookstores, cafés, pubs
- learning about history/culture
- scenic train rides
A few questions:
- any restaurant/bar recommendations in different cities?
- Are these cities a good route for 2 weeks?
- Any underrated towns/villages to add or swap out?
- Best castle recommendations?
- Is the Cotswolds worth 3–4 nights?
- Is York worth staying overnight for?
- is Glasgow a city to consider too or stick with Edinburgh?
- Best places for medieval/history vibes?
- Any scenic train routes that you shouldn’t miss?
- Would you recommend flying into somewhere besides London?
Open to literally any recommendations... hidden gems, historic sites, spooky October things, food spots, cozy towns, etc. Thank you!!
